If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that this past weekend I was in Munich for Oktoberfest!
It was about as crazy as I ever thought it would be–and about as fun too.
And it will take me a few more days to recover!
Last week, I also took part in the dreaded Bread Week challenge for the Bake Off Bake Along with Amanda and Ala.
I shouldn’t say dreaded, however–I absolutely love making bread and this was potentially the challenge I was looking forward to the most! Of course, the challenges I had to choose from were not easy: a chocolate bread, steamed buns, or a braided showstopper.
I used this recipe as I’ve used recipes from their book before (which sadly is in storage in my parents’ basement…thanks Mom & Dad!) and I’ve always wanted to try a brioche.
It was definitely my most successful bake yet!
I made extra dough and I can’t wait to make this again.
Next week…batter week! Yikes!
